Pre-Arrangements

It is important to tell your family, estate trustee or executor about your plans.

Preparing a Funeral Will is a convenient way to do so.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PRE-ARRANGEMENT?

Pre-arranging a funeral for yourself or on behalf of a loved one.

Helps reduce the burden, vulnerability, or emotional stress experienced by family and friends when a person dies.

It also gives you more time to assess and compare your options, allowing you to make informed choices.

Pre-paid arrangements, when paid in full, are guaranteed to offset any future price increase when the beneficiary dies.

WHAT ABOUT PAYMENT?

You can choose to pre-arrange a funeral without paying anything in advance, or you can pre-pay. When you pre-pay, your funeral or cremation plan is funded by either a trust or an insurance policy. When your money is deposited into a trust, it is held by a bank or registered trust company until it is needed.

When you pre-arrange with ABC, all pre-paid monies are trusted or insurance funded in accordance with all Oregon laws and are administered by a third party trust administrator.

WHAT IF I HAVE PRE-PAID AND THE FUNERAL PROVIDER GOES OUT OF BUSINESS?

This is highly unlikely. However, in that event, either the Oregon Mortuary & Cemetery Board or the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services steps in and finds other providers able to honor the contract.

WHAT IF I WANT TO CANCEL PRE-ARRANGEMENTS?

Under the legislative governing authority of Oregon, you can generally cancel any pre-paid funeral arrangements in writing without having to state a reason. The funeral home establishment must pay back all the monies to the purchaser in accordance with all Oregon laws.
